Watch the 1 hour Video below as Curry Blake shares how you can be healed and turn around and heal the sick by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. The brethren at John G. Lake Ministries (JGLM) believe that healing is a part of the total Gospel of Jesus Christ. They believe that God has provided a total Gospel with a total healing for the total man: spirit, soul, and body.

Curry Blake is considered by thousands to be the foremost authority on the subject of healing and the life of Dr. John G. Lake. The leadership of John G. Lake Ministries was passed on to Curry R. Blake due to a prophecy given by Dr. Lake about one year before he went home in 1935. To date, between the two men and those they have trained, this ministry has over 1 million healings/miracles as testimonies. Though often called a “healing ministry”, their actual focus can be summed up as: Genuine Repentance, Genuine Life-in-God, and therefore Genuine Ministry. Read more about Curry Blake here.

Born to missionary parents in Japan, Robby had an early start in ministry. In his father’s church he began a children’s ministry at the age of 12, and became the youth minister at 16 years old. Robby says, “I knew from a young age that God had called me into ministry. My parents say that from the age of 2, I told people that I would grow up and be a missionary.” In many ways that has been the case in Robby’s life.

“In addition to starting and pastoring this church, God has called me for the purpose of building up and equipping the local church with power tools for harvesting,” Robby shares. These “power tools” are prophetic ministry, healing, ministry of the presence of God, and deliverance from demonic power. Robby loves to tell literally hundreds of stories of his personal experiences, which include God using him and others he has mentored through the years to see God’s Kingdom “break in” with signs and wonders.

Paster Steven Furtick speaks about building your case before God, quote scriptures and really mean what you pray. When do you really pray? When do you pour out your heart to the Lord? There are times when you ought to really get down to business with God! There must be times when you call upon the Lord with a whole heart. That’s when He will answer (Jeremiah 29:13).

All of our little daily prayers are well and good. The Lord surely hears them and knows they’re sincere, and He answers accordingly. But there are times when you should really get desperate with the Lord in prayer about certain situations and people that need your prayers.

After leaving home to be a model when she was 15, Janine Turner began her acting career 2 years later appearing in episodes of Dallas and General Hospital. She played in movies, wrote a screen cast and a book. Here she is sharing her heart touching story of how she decided to make God the center of her existence.

From an early age Janine Turner wanted to be part of the show business world. Modeling, dancing,singing and acting were a big part of her formative years, which eventually moved her to New York City in pursuit of a serious acting career. She had ambition, drive, and visions of success. But along the way came rejection— thousands of times- in auditions and tryouts. Somehow she had to deal with it to survive.

“One rejection after another in show business drove me to my knees!”

Janine first tried dealing with it through alcohol. This caused numerous issues, including the breakup of an engagement, until she discovered she was a blackout drinker and became sober at age 23. Then facing another deep hole of rejection at age 27, she remembered just who was in control of her life and career. At her lowest moment, God shined on her, a vignette in time she has never forgotten and spurs her on today.

At 27 years old. I hit another low point dealing with rejection. But then I got this call for a little pilot called Northern Exposure. I walk into this audition and the casting director looks at me and says, “I don’t know what the producers are thinking. We saw all of our best talent last week.” After the audition I walked out and started sobbing down the streets of Manhattan. I remember hugging the toilet, having dry heaves, saying “I can’t do it. I can’t do it.” (…)

Each of the trillions of hard-working cells of the body is a dynamo of activity. Inside of each of these cells are about 200 wiggling mitochondria. Each one of these would be about 1/50,000th the size of a globe as big as a dot! Inside of each mitochondrion are hundreds of small "spheres" scattered along stalks in the mitochondrion!

Each of the trillions of hard-working cells of the body is a dynamo of activity. Inside of each of these cells are about 200 wiggling mitochondria. Each one of these would be about 1/50,000th the size of a globe as big as a dot! Inside of each mitochondrion are hundreds of small “spheres” scattered along stalks in the mitochondrion!

Each sphere is about 1/1,000th size of the mitochondrion! So, each sphere would be about one-five-millionth (1/5,000,000) the size of a dot! Each of these tiny spheres is a chemical factory, with a “production line” that produces energy and food for the cell. This is such a marvel of smallness and intricate complexity that it stretches one’s imagination even to try to think of it.

As for the so-called “simple cell”, from which the evolutionists say all living creatures have evolved, Look Magazine declared, “The cell is as complicated as New York City.” The well-known evolutionist Loren Eisely likewise admitted in his book, The Immense Journey, that “Intensified effort revealed that even the supposedly simple amoeba was a complex, self-operating chemical factory. The notion that he was a simple blob, the discovery of whose chemical composition would enable us instantly to set the life process in operation, turned out to be, at best, a monstrous caricature of the truth.”

Can you imagine a dictionary, a chemical factory, or New York City, coming into existence by itself–POOF–without any assistance from an intelligent designer, planner or creator? Such is the logic of evolution’s imaginary assumption that the infinitely complex “simple” cell accidentally came together and came alive by blind, unguided chance! Commenting on this assumption, the British biologist Woodger said, “It is simple dogmatism–asserting that what you want to believe did in fact happen.” The absurdity of this evolutionary logic is only amplified as we move on to the even more complex, multi-celled forms of life.

The argument from probability that life could not form by natural processes but must have been created is sometimes acknowledged by evolutionists as a strong argument. The probability of the chance formation of a hypothetical functional ‘simple’ cell, given all the ingredients, is acknowledged to be worse than 1 in 1057800. This is a chance of 1 in a number with 57,800 zeros. It would take 11 full pages of magazine type to print this number. (D.A. Bradbury, ‘Reply to Landau and Landau’ Creation/Evolution 13(2):48-49, 1993.)

These numbers defy our ability to comprehend their size. Fred Hoyle, British mathematician and astronomer, has used analogies to try to convey the immensity of the problem. For example, Hoyle said the probability of the formation by chance of just one of the many proteins on which life depends is comparable to that of the solar system packed full of blind people randomly shuffling Rubik’s cubes all arriving at the solution at the same time and this is the chance of getting only one of the 400 or more proteins of the hypothetical minimum cell proposed by the evolutionists (real world ‘simple’ bacteria have about 2,000 proteins and are incredibly complex). As Hoyle points out, the program of the cell, encoded on the DNA, is also needed. In other words, life could not form by natural (random) processes. (D.A. Bradbury, ‘Reply to Landau and Landau’ Creation/Evolution 13(2):48-49, 1993. F. Hoyle, ‘The big bang in astronomy’ New Scientist, 92(1280):527, 1981.)

Creationists do not argue that life is merely complex, but that it is ordered in such a way as to defy a natural explanation. The order in the proteins and DNA of living things is independent of the properties of the chemicals of which they consist-unlike an ice crystal, where the structure results from the properties of the water molecule. The order in living things parallels that in printed books where the information is not contained in the ink, or even in the letters, but in the complex arrangement of letters which make up words, words which make up sentences, sentences which make up paragraphs, paragraphs which make up chapters and chapters which make up books. These components of written language respectively parallel the nucleic acid bases, codons, genes, operons, chromosomes and genomes which make up the genetic programs of living cells. The order in living things shows they are the product of intelligence.

Despite Tourette's Syndrome, which was first diagnosed in 2003 when she was 11, Jamie Grace has gone on to find great success after being discovered (via her YouTube channel) by TobyMac and signed to his label Gotee Records. She released the song “Hold Me” in 2011 (landing her a nomination at the 2012

By Dan Wooding, ASSIST Ministries, September 17, 2013ANAHEIM, CA(ANS) – There was hardly a dry eye in the Honda Center, Anaheim, on Friday night (September 13, 2013) when Jamie Grace, a contemporary Christian musician, singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress from Atlanta, Georgia, sang and also courageously shared on the first night of the Women of Faith Conference with an audience of around 15,000, about her battle with Tourette’s syndrome.

Tourette’s syndrome, is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. These tics characteristically wax and wane, can be suppressed temporarily, and are preceded by a premonitory urge. Tourette’s is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes provisional, transient and persistent (chronic) tics.

Yet despite this difficulty, which was first diagnosed in 2003 when she was 11, Jamie has gone on to find great success after being discovered (via her YouTube channel) by TobyMac and signed to his label Gotee Records. She released the song “Hold Me” in 2011 (landing her a nomination at the 2012 Grammys) and won the 2012 Dove Award for New Artist of the Year.

So, after appearing at the conference, I was able to sit down with Jamie, for a chat, and I began by asking her why she was so open in talking about her affliction, instead of hiding it away, and if there problems to start with.

Dan Wooding with Jamie Grace
after the interview

“When I was first diagnosed, and although I was really insecure about it, I thought that people would be really understanding if I told them,” she began. “So, at an early age, I told ‘friends’ at sleep overs, or after church, ‘Oh, you guys, I just got diagnosed with Tourette’s.’ I thought that they’d say, ‘Oh, that’s fine,’ but instead they were super weirded out by it, so I immediately shut off and stopped telling people.

“But when I was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and I really became more passionate about the things of the Lord, I realized that I could possibly impact at least one person’s life or at least inspire one person by sharing about it.

“I remember hearing stories of Tim Howard (an American-born soccer goalkeeper with Everton FC in England) and others who also had Tourette’s syndrome, and even more recently of Robin Roberts of Good Morning America and her struggle with cancer and so on hearing how they inspired others, I knew that my story could encourage at least one person so I owed it to others to do just that.”

So when did she first realize that something was wrong?

“I was nine when the symptoms started and that was after a lot of traumatic things had been happening in my life,” she said. “It started with just movements and twitches and things like that. I don’t really remember much before then. My earliest memories are that it just started with my arms my legs my eyes and eventually it progressed into more often and that kind of thing so we kind of had to make a move.”

“My mom was the one to take the diagnosis to my doctor and he didn’t know what it was. I know that I’m young, but back in that time, it really wasn’t as common as it is today. For two years the doctors and my mom went on Google trying to figure out what I had, and what was wrong, and when I was eleven years old, my mom walked into the doctor’s office with a packet for the doctor and said, ‘My daughter has Tourette’s’ and so the doctor came back a week later and said, ‘Yeah.’”

Was she ever angry at God for having this disorder?

“No, not know” Jamie said firmly. “Of course, there are still nights where I can’t sleep because my Tourette’s is so bad, and I cry and I say things like, ‘God, what’s up with this?’ When I was twelve and thirteen years old, I just remember feeling that all I wanted was for my hair to look like everyone else’s, and for my clothes to be as cute as the next girl, or to be able to sit at the lunch table and for everybody to think I was funny and pretty. I just wanted to fit in, and yet, I was the epitome of different.

“So at that time, I was very angry and stressed out, and confused. I cried, yelled and screamed a lot. But I actually think that it helped in a way because I would just often times scream at God and just ask God, ‘why?’ and I would have this assurance from my parents and from my sister and from my family, as they wrapped their arms around me, and say things like, ‘You might feel frustrated, but this is not the end.’ It was like they were saying, ‘As big as your frustration is, God’s love is even bigger.’ It’s hard to believe, but when I began to grasp that, it all started to change.”

“Back then, in the late nineties, early two-thousands, there were a lot of experimental medications,” she said. “Personally, I don’t do any today, but I did for about three years and they did help, but as I got older and went to college, I went more and more the vitamin route, but it also has simmered down to where I don’t have to. It’s on a very case-by-case basis. The brain can get really complicated and there’s so much going on there. But it has gotten to a point where I have been able to manage it now, and all my friends know about it they’ll just get over my stutter.”

I then asked Jamie to give her definition of Tourette’s syndrome, and she replied, “It’s basically neurological, neurobiological, meaning it’s in the brain, and it causes movements and sounds that you can’t control. It doesn’t mean that I can’t do things that I want to. I can walk and talk and pick up things, however, because of some neurons that are not necessarily connected in my brain and my body, I do additional movements which are called twitches. So basically people have nervous ticks and twitches but Tourette’s syndrome is when it’s more twitches that can actually interrupt your daily life and they last more than a year.”

As Jamie spoke, I could see that she was struggling to control her twitches, but her huge smile never once left her face, so then I asked her about her earlier life and she revealed that she was raised as a pastor’s daughter.

“We grew up in the Southern Baptist Association at an incredible church,” she said. “We were definitely southern Baptists, but if you gave us some pumping music, we will start to dance.”

When I pointed out that seemed to be very un-Southern Baptist to do that, she laughed and said, “We are not ashamed to dance for Jesus.”

Now back to Tourette’s, I asked her what advice she would give to anyone who has just been diagnosed with it.

A joyful Jamie Grace

Well first of all, I’ll say that even though I believe that Tourette’s stinks, and even though I don’t like it, and I sometimes I just wish it would go away, for the kid out there, or the mom or friend that has Tourette’s, I’m not saying that I’m a great person or anything like that, but I can promise that I would not be the kind of compassionate person that I am now if it were not for my Tourette’s,” Jamie said.

“I have seen kids bullied in high school and college and I’ve known what that feels like so I know how to walk up to them and talk to them and share with them. And so, because of what I’ve been through, it has helped me in my walk with Christ, and helped me teach other kids that are different, to tell them that sometimes that’s the way we are.

“I do thank God, not specifically for Tourette’s, but I know that He has taught me a lot through this illness. So the irony of Tourette’s syndrome is that it’s based on something that we can’t control and everyone in life has something that they can’t control. So whether it’s Tourette’s, or family or school stuff, or something else medical, we’re all going to have something big in our lives that that we can’t control, but we can control to choose to go to the Father during those times and even though it’s hard and difficult, He does love us He does have a plan for us and He will make everything work out for His glory in the end.”

I asked Jamie if she ever felt embarrassed in front of huge crowds when she shares her story, and she smiled and said, “I usually feel it’s a privilege. I’m a 21-year-old girl, so I can never make up my mind some days. I walk on stage and I say to myself, ‘Don’t you dare twitch, as this will be so embarrassing,’ and then like today, I was twitching like crazy, but I then say, ‘Whatever; they’ll get over it.’ So it just depends on my mood. You can ask me what I want to eat, and I can never make up my mind, so it’s all the same way, but like at the end of my talk this evening, some friends were asking me how I felt and all I could say was that, ‘Jesus was here and that’s all that matters.’”

By the way, you can catch Jamie Grace’s song “Holding On” on the soundtrack for the movie (and in the film!) “Grace Unplugged” along with songs by TobyMac, Chris Tomlin, Colton Dixon and more. Jamie Grace plays Rachel, Grace (AJ Michalka)’s best friend. http://graceunplugged.com/resources

Jim entered college with a skepticism about life. The idea of God seemed “silly”. He poured his life into a successful career in magic where a lot of his skepticism was confirmed. There really are “trap doors” and “smoke and mirrors.” But despite doubts, radical things were happening in Jim’s life to turn his world upside down. And then, just when he thought he had it all figured out: Leukemia. When faced with the choices of how to proceed, Jim knew his best chance of living was to allow himself to die first. Chemotherapy to destroy blood cells. New blood to replace his own. Yet how could he allow himself to endure the agony? And why was this happening?

I asked my kindergartner what he thinks about God and engaged in a fascinating discussion about our Creator, love and heaven with him. When I asked what our Heavenly Father looks like, my son answered, “He’s really big. But not big like a giant. Just big like a man.”

A few weeks ago, my youngest son woke me up on a Saturday morning with a thousand and two questions about our plans for the day. At age 6, his curiosity runs like Niagara Falls and I’m often the one going over the edge in a barrel.

The discussion zigzagged from our weekend to-do list to a menu of things he doesn’t quite understand. “Why can’t we get a turtle? Why can’t I use your bed as a trampoline? Does God sit in a really big chair?”

That last one caught me off guard.

I asked a few questions in return and engaged in a fascinating discussion about God, love and heaven with my kindergartner. When I asked what our Heavenly Father looks like, my son answered, “He’s really big. But not big like a giant. Just big like a man.”

I wondered what he thought Heavenly Father does all day. “He listens to our prayers,” he offered. When I pressed for more he said, “He tells the Holy Ghost where he should go.”

Evidently, the Spirit had been asked to join our discussion, because I suddenly had tears in my eyes.

Our discussion stuck with me all day and by the time I kissed him goodnight, I’d decided to gather a handful of other kindergarten-aged kids to ask what they know and feel about God. With the help of my wife, we invited 5- and 6-year-olds from different churches, backgrounds and family dynamics to participate in my project.

Just a few days later — and with their parents’ permission — I interviewed Ava, Dara, Jordan, Koleson, Mallory, Michael, Molly, Nathan and Sarah one at a time and on camera. The children were not prepped for the questions and didn’t know the topic of our discussion beforehand. Nor did they have the benefit of hearing the other interviews.

I may have walked in the room with few expectations, but I left with a deepened understanding of things divine.

With each child I posed the same question first, though sometimes with slightly different wording. “Can you tell me who God is?” They told me he is Jesus Christ’s father, the creator of the world and the father of everyone on Earth. A pretty good start, I thought.

When I asked what they thought God looks like, Dara answered confidently with a hint of “duh” in her voice, “Like a man.” Another girl, Mallory, closed her eyes tight and after a long time opened them to say, “I think I know now. I think he has a beard and he has, um, a scarf.”

I can believe that. Can’t you?

Later, when I wondered where God lives, each answered without hesitation, “Heaven.” A few accompanied their answer with an emphatic finger pointed to the sky. Not surprisingly, all had some idea of what heaven looks like, and Nathan’s answer was the most descriptive. “It has golden roads and houses and stuff. And a big city.”

Some of the children were asked if their Father in heaven has other names. Molly answered thoughtfully, “I think some people call him ‘The King of the World.’” Another said, “Lord and Master.”

“Amen,” I almost whispered.

Michael was quizzed on who else lives with God. “Other, like, dead people live up there with God if they be good.” I asked if he wanted to live with him someday and he said yes, but not by himself. “With my whole family,” he smiled.

I smiled, too.

Did the children think that God would know their names? All answered yes. And why? “Because he knows everything,” Ava said, without a hint of doubt. Asked the same question, Sarah answered almost before I’d finished speaking, “Cause he knows everybody’s name.”

I also asked if they thought God has a job in heaven. One said he helps us learn, one said he heals people and Jordan said so sweetly, “Like he makes me be happy and not be like sad. He makes me, he makes me really fun.”

I bet you make him happy too, Jordan.

Maybe the most endearing and enduring lesson of my interview was how every child — no matter their faith, their background or shy personality — answered with confidence to my final chain of questions: “Do you think that God loves you?”

Yes, yes, yes, they all said.

Koleson, my favorite of the kindergartners with a striking resemblance to his beautiful mother, was asked why he thinks God loves him: “Because he knows us.”

Indeed, to know these kids is to love them.
